203. Deputy John Brassil asked the Minister for Education and Skills the progress that has been made in the resourcing of suitable staff to work in the shared payroll service centre for all education training boards in Dublin; the number of these staff who are existing public servants; the number of new recruits who will have to be employed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8489/17]
View answerThe first appointment to the shared payroll service centre, the Head of Payroll Shared Services, has been made. The appointee is an existing public servant and their initial role will centre around the recruitment and training of staff for the payroll shared services centre. The payroll shared services centre will be actively recruiting as many staff as possible from within the public service. The outcome of this process will drive the number of new recruits required.
